4:35pm ET - More than 100 members of Congress have signed a letter urging Secretary of State John Kerry and U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman to force Brunei to repeal the recently imposed Sharia laws that call for the stoning of gays and adulterers. Joining us to discuss this letter and the effect of Brunei’s new laws on the ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade negotiations with the US is Congressman Mark Pocan who represents the 2nd Congressional District of Wisconsin and is behind this effort to get Brunei to address these human rights violations.
